SEARCHING FOR LOST PENPAL

As a young girl in 1970-72, I had a penpal named Susan Weaver who lived at No3, Roseberry Terrace, Chalford Hill. We wrote for a while, but lost contact, as children will. I recently found a bundle of her letters and was curious about her and the area she lived in. With the help of the internet, I located your website. The town and pictures are wonderful. I many ways it reminds me of the area in Pennsylvania where I grew up.

I would be grateful for any information about Susan.
